This is off-topic, but I have to bite: "anti-RMS" is such a reductionist way to express this. Is our language so impoverished that we must be reduced to "anti-this" and "pro-this"?
Who's "the team", by the way? There is a maintainer collective and hundreds of contributors, and it should be no surprise that they don't all have the same opinion on everything.
For what it's worth: I'm a GNU maintainer and I don't want RMS to be the leader of the GNU project. I'm not "anti-RMS", just "anti-RMS-as-GNU-project-leader". I do think RMS has a voice that should be heard when it is about free software philosophy.
